I had such an incredible experience at La Di Da Sugaring! I booked a facial with Azure, and I…read morehonestly can't recommend her enough. Azure is one of those rare people who is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. She made me feel completely comfortable from the moment I walked in, took the time to assess my skin, and explained everything she was doing throughout the treatment. My skin looks brilliant, radiant, refreshed, and healthier than it has in a long time (early 40s takes its toll!) One of the biggest wins was that she was able to remove a ton of stubborn blackheads that had been bothering me, and my skin feels so much smoother because of it. She also gave me thoughtful, personalized recommendations for my skincare routine going forward without ever making me feel pressured to buy products. The space itself is clean, modern, calming, and with a beautiful view overlooking Balboa Park, which made the entire experience feel even more relaxing. If you're looking for an esthetician who is knowledgeable, genuinely caring, and delivers amazing results, I highly recommend booking with Azure. I'll absolutely be back and will be recommending her to my friends and family!

I always feel comfortable and relaxed even though it's typically an uncomfortable situation. Melanie is great at what she does, I always leave feeling smooth and hairless! Because I've kept up with sugaring for several years, I have the flexibility to schedule my appointments 7-8 weeks apart since the hair growth is less frequent; sugaring works! Her pricing is also very fair and doesn't break my bank. If you've ever considered sugaring, I highly recommend coming to Love Sugaring!

I love getting my Brazilian from Eliza. I've been getting it done for about a year now and the hair keeps coming in thinner and thinner. Eliza makes me feel very safe and comfortable. I love how she guides me to breath as she works on me. I've started to have her do my eyebrows now too and it feels and looks really nice, so much easier and less painful than plucking, I love it. Sugaring is a superior hair removal method, it stays so smooth for such a long time, my boyfriend loves it. I highly recommend going to see Eliza the sugar queen, it is money well spent! read more

I've been getting a Brazilian and pits from Eliza for over four years. When my hair grows in, it is lighter, thinner, and less. She was my first experience with hair removal. I tried waxing at one point. My skin broke out bad from the wax. I've never had a problem with the sugaring. It's more natural and better suited for my sensitive skin. Eliza is very detailed with her work. She is sure to get every, now blonde, hair. I love the results! read more

This woman is a talented esthetician! She does a great job every time I come in. I am a consistent client of hers and plan to keep it that way. I highly recommend Eliza! I had been waxed for a year or two before trying out sugar as an alternative and I prefer sugar over wax for sure. Try it out! Eliza rocks :) read more

Eliza is absolutely the best! I have thick dark hair and she was able to remove it. It didn't grow back for about three weeks and it grew in much thinner. It definitely hurts a little, but well worth it! Eliza instantly makes you feel comfortable. I strongly recommend sugaring with Eliza. read more
